Pro is an amazing name!
I am doing Marth's paralogue and I feel like the game has double pranked me. First, by calling out my warp+general strategy that I used to snap this same map in half in FE12 by putting in tons of assists that bypass evasion/defense, and then again by making the loot in the chests completely not worth the trouble

Been a big fan of the crit animations this time and I also like that on fast they feel quick enough I haven’t needed to fully disable them, I’ll just hold ZR if I wanna speed a turn up

I feel like banger crit quotes are an underrated part of Awakening's success tbh. A lot of the cast has some really good ones.

Even if they’re willing to evolve the presentation like they did with Engage, it’s clear that’s part of the series formula now yeah.

It’s also fun to be a goon and imagine what some rando from an old game would say.

Ngl, the only reason The Vaike sticks out as anything other than “yet another mid early game axefighter” is the fact that he sometimes yells all time top tier crit quote “Looks like Teach just got tenure” before smoking a dude, so I can’t blame them for giving him low billing if that was Us exclusive.

Yeah, that’s the only reason I remember Vaike too.

Edit: 3H had some great crit quotes. I am also fond of Hilda chanting her own name when she killed someone.

This game has some decent ones, especially Yunaka (who crits every other attack)

Getting new quotes as the game goes on is badass too, like Chrom starts saying “anything can change” halfway through the game and the three houses cast gets new quotes/different inflection on old quotes after the time skip

I'm not sure what it says when the optimal strategy to the town that is on fire is to set more things on fire
tbh alear does note that everyone in the town is already dead and the mechanics of the fight reflect that with the corrupted trap houses and stuff. so setting it more on fire also kinda makes sense

I kinda miss the banter between characters from kill streaks in Three Hopes, to be honest and would like to see that kind of reactivity come back in mainline games. It was funny to hear Seteth complaining that it's like fighting defenseless children and Rodrigue chiming in that he sounds like a tired old man, or Catherine and Shamir keeping their kill count contest going.

Here's hoping the datamining for DLC Emblems is incomplete and Shez will make it in.

echoes had some similar banter in spots. like if someone got a kill on an enemy he weakened grey would complain about killstealing, and characters would comment on characters critting near them.

This isn't even Byleth's best quote. I'm really partial to "Allow me to demonstrate," just so disdainful. Not a crit quote, but the cold delivery of Shamir's"Sleep in the dirt" will stick with me.

In Engage, I love that most characters steal voice clips/personality from their engaged emblem. Especially Tiki. It's just funny to hear basically anyone's voice proclaiming "we'll be together forever".

‘If this love is a crime’ from the Sigurd ring is just so nonsensical without context that it got chuckles that evolved into full on laughter as it kept reoccurring.

Yunaka has the best crit quote delivery, just because of the difference in between “Hiya Papaya! <3” and “Dropped your guard…”.

The best crit quote in the game, though, is Goldmary with “What’s the point of you?”

I know nothing about Sigurd or even what game he’s from so it is definitely funny.

Edit: sometimes the battle banter reminds me of the quests you’d send your units on in Final Fantasy Tactics. They’d come back and explain what happened but inevitably one would chime in with something inane like, “I had a good feeling!” Same energy.

Sigurd and a mysterious forest lady who isn’t supposed to leave the forest fall in love at first sight and get married.

This starts a series of events that directly lead to Sigurd’s death and the birth of the anti-Christ.

I like how the lines change from school period to war, ie: "Only thorns left on this rose" is a callback to her school quote of "All roses have thorns"
its both good character development, and also, very depressing at times.

The love is not a crime, everything Manfroy did afterwards was the crime.

Anyway yes I second every cool crit quote/after battle quote mentioned so far, and I want to bring up Shigure's crit quotes because I appreciate his musical theming. "An encore? If you insist!" is stuck in my head forever.

My favorite is _Veyle_ saying "That's... ... ... me I guess" when engaged with Claude, just pausing for like a whole rear end second in the middle.

No idea if it's supposed to imply anything, it's just so absurd and it rules.
